A LA CARTE
ALa Carte was a Germany-based female disco vocal trio active in the late 70's and early 80's.
Formed in 1978 by producers Tony Hendrik and Karin van Haaren, A La Carte line-up (consisting of mostly English girls) was constantly changing between releases. The trio originally included Scottish girls: Patsy Fuller, Julia and Elaine. Their first song was When the Boys Come Home, released in March 1979. With a performance in the Musikladen TV show, the group gained immense popularity in Germany. For unknown reasons, the line-ups often changed with the release of new singles. Jenny Renshaw became the only permanent member when she joined the group in October 1979. By 1981, the group was made up of Jenny Renshaw, Linda Daniels and Joy Martin. Together, they released the album Viva. The group underwent many more line-up changes afterwards also. In 1982, they recorded their "Rockin' Oldies" album, which included numerous covers of 1960s songs. The group disbanded in 1984. In 1989 Mungo Jerry's Ray Dorset tried to revive the group - with little significant success. The group reunited in 2017.
